It is their instinct to explore novel things. The primary sense that dogs rely on to understand the world is their sense of smell. They obtain a large amount of information from smells through a particularly rich set of olfactory cells. The source of information for dogs is the "ankle area", and the strongest odor sources for us come from our crotch and mouth, so dogs always like to smell these two places first. For dogs, they can only reach people by jumping up and putting their paws on them, so they naturally like to pounce on people.

Therefore, starting from the puppy, the owner has been responding to this behavior every day, unconsciously encouraging and strengthening this behavior. When the puppies grow up and their behavior has been solidified, and when the furry little cutie weighing only a few kilograms grows into a behemoth weighing dozens of kilograms and affects people, it will be really difficult to correct it.
